Nigeria: We are not leopards
Hey! we are not leopards
That can not change their spots
School teaches us to compete
But right now, drop the books
The largest black nation
Should be doing better
Drop the competitions
We learnt on chalk and board
It has so misled us
Hence our Nation crumbles
Let us adopt teamwork
For our Nation to grow.
Hey! we are not leopards
That can not change their spots
Our poor mentality
Need a speedy u-turn.
The largest black nation
Should be doing better
Stop the awful mortgage
Of our children’s future.
We are not immortals
Night and dawn affect not
Let us make a good use
Of our enormous wealth.
Hey! we are not leopards
That can not change their spots
Enough of reoccurring
Painful drawbacks we get.
The largest black nation
Should be doing better,
Not locked and caged inside
Our own stupidity.
For just like charity
That does begin at home;
Our Nation’s growth
Depends so much on us.

Sonnet: My first battle won
Against rattles
And obstacles
In glass bottles
The first battle
Outrightly won
When I was born
Is being black
Others may lack
Wrinkles do not
Penetrate nuts
In blackish lands
Time might hit hard
But fact is that
Blacks don’t crack.

Our spirits called Africa
We are more than thick short hairs
We are proudly Africans…
Ashamed, not of our colour
For it is our greatest honor.
Connected by the root of trees
Covalently united by our spirits
We are bonds that never dissolve
While aiming at an indefinite limit.
Demonstrating with lots of love
Dancing to the rhythm in our sound
Our spirit would definitely be lost,
If we weren’t an African child.
